Local insight
Palm City's kitchen cabinetry tends toward raised-panel wood doors in older CBS builds; Florida's humidity cycles cause wood to swell and contract, so proper deglossing, bonding primer, and a catalyzed topcoat — not standard wall paint — are essential for a finish that won't peel in a humid coastal kitchen.
Cabinet refinishing in Palm City kitchens and baths
Palm City homeowners remodeling without a full gut renovation consistently find that refinished cabinets deliver the visual impact they want. In neighborhoods like Canoe Creek and Stuart West, kitchen cabinets in homes built through the 1990s and 2000s are structurally sound but dated in color. Our process transforms them without removal or replacement.
Why cabinet refinishing in a Palm City home requires a different approach
Standard wall paint applied to cabinets fails quickly in Florida kitchens — the combination of cooking steam, air-conditioning humidity swings, and daily handling peels ordinary latex off cabinet doors within a year. We use a professional spray finish system with a bonding primer designed for glossy surfaces and a catalyzed topcoat that cures to a hardness wall paint never reaches. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, sprayed off-site in a controlled environment, and reinstalled after curing.
Our process and warranty
We degloss all surfaces, apply bonding primer, spray two topcoats, reinstall hardware, and adjust hinges before leaving. Cabinet refinishing carries our 6-month workmanship warranty. For a full kitchen, most jobs complete in two to three days.
Questions Palm City homeowners ask
Can you refinish cabinets to look like a two-tone kitchen (island a different color than perimeter)? Yes, two-tone finishes are one of the most popular requests we get in Palm City. We mask and spray the island color separately and can even replicate a wood-stain look on the island using a faux technique over the existing painted surface.
My cabinets have a thick factory finish that’s yellowing. Will your process hold over that? In most cases, yes. We test adhesion on an inconspicuous door first. If the existing finish is flaking or the substrate is particle board that has swelled from moisture damage, we’ll tell you upfront whether refinishing makes more sense than replacement.

Common questions
What factors affect the cost of cabinet refinishing in South Florida?
The main variables are door and drawer count, the condition of the existing finish, and whether you're changing colors. Kitchens with heavy grease buildup — common in Florida's year-round cooking climate — require extra cleaning and deglossing, which adds prep time. We provide a free written estimate after a walk-through so there are no surprises before we start.
How long will a spray-applied cabinet finish hold up in a Florida home?
With proper prep and the right Sherwin-Williams products, a spray-applied finish typically lasts five or more years even with South Florida's humidity and daily kitchen use. Our six-month workmanship warranty covers adhesion or finish failures in that window. The key is thorough surface prep — skipping steps is where most finishes fail early.
How long does the project take and do we need to leave the house?
Most single-kitchen jobs run two to three days: one day for cleaning, deglossing, and priming; one for topcoats; and a short cure window before doors go back on hardware. We seal off the work area with plastic so the rest of the house stays livable. You'll just want to keep the kitchen light during cure time — no cooking or heavy steam until the finish has hardened.
